Static Static need our help

John Henry and Heather of the great band Static Static
are in serious legal trouble in Prescott, Arizona, and are facing 5-15
years in prison. Though I don't know all the details about what has
happened, I know they have a lot of great things to contribute to
society, and they don't deserve to be locked out of it. They go before
a judge tomorrow and their friends are trying to raise money so that
they can both have proper legal representation.

I
have known John and Heather for over ten years. Heather has been on
tour with us to sell merch, Static Static has rocked the Spellcaster
many times and I love them both and know they have lots of other
friends that love them and would want to help out. Lesley, the drummer
for Static Static has a Paypal account to direct donations for a
lawyer.
